Today our in house Bay Area Rap analyst Jonny Paycheck pka Koncepts gets personal with this sixteen track compilation of previously unreleased high school era demos that he and his crew recorded in the converted boiler room under his Mom’s house. Hit the jump for Jonny’s very detailed history of the artists involved. (more…)

Jonny Paycheck just sent over this nice youtube companion to his Mixed Practice post. It’s some old footage of Eclipse of Mixed Practice and Karma of Kemetic Suns hitting the streets of Berkeley to push their wares. Interspersed is also performance footage from Murs and DJ Vin Roc.
